What is Kinesiology Taping?
Kinesiology Taping is a precise rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints. Unlike traditional athletic tape that restricts movement, this technique allows the body’s normal range of motion while providing extending soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting. The specialized elastic tape works with your body’s natural biomechanics to enhance function and promote healing.
The Benefits of Kinesio Taping
Kinesio tape is latex-free and hypoallergenic, making it ‘skin friendly’ for patients with sensitive or fragile skin, including patients with diabetes, fibromyalgia, or rheumatoid arthritis. The tape can be worn for several days, providing continuous therapeutic benefits between treatment sessions. It works by lifting the skin slightly, which can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, provide proprioceptive feedback, and support proper muscle function without restricting movement.
Extended Therapeutic Benefits
Kinesio Taping serves as an excellent complement to chiropractic care and other manual therapies by extending their benefits well beyond your treatment session. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to enhance athletic performance, Kinesio Taping can provide the ongoing support and facilitation your body needs to heal naturally and function optimally.
